Section E (Tile Calculations)
For Moment based tile systems, choose either Method 1 or 2. Compare the values for M
r
with the values from M
f
. If the M
f
values are greater than or
equal to the M
r
values, for each area of the roof, then the tile attachment method is acceptable.

*Must be used in conjunction with a list of moment based tile systems endorsed by the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals.
For Uplift based tile systems use Method 3. Compared the values for F’with the values for Fr. If the F’values are greater than or equal to the Fr values,
for each area of the roof, then the tile attachment method is acceptable.
